You guys know I love Mid-Century and if you don’t know it… now you do! I also love working with my jigsaw and today, I’m combining the two. I’m thrilled to be able to share with you this Mid-Century Inspired DIY Plant Hanger!
I made my tear drop pretty large but you could definitely scale yours to make it smaller if you wanted. Ready for the tutorial?
2. The first thing I did was to do a Google Search for “Teardrop” and picked my shape. From there, I knew that I wanted a pretty large teardrop so I scaled the size up and had it printed as an engineer print at Staples. I got it home and realized that it was a bit too large. Using the print as a guide, I made small dots about an inch in from my line and connected the dots. That allowed me to have a smaller teardrop shape.
3. Once I had the smaller form on my paper, I came in another 2 inches and drew more dots. I connected the dots on the inside to make the inside edge of the drop.
6. Make a Plant Base
Step 7: Make a Wedge for your Base * (You can skip this step if you cut your shape out with the wedge already in it)
Step 8: Attach the wedge to your planter
I used some long screws and clamps to attach the pieces.
Step 9: Attach the circle base
Step 10: Sand and Stain

Incredibly gorgeous! I have seen similar items figuring the hangers to be pricey. I love it! Thanks for showing a way to make them!
